I only want reality breaking stuff
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
Physics is mostly finding bugs in the existing physics model of the universe, then patching them
More like finding bugs and exploiting the hell out of them.
I thought that was engineering
"this amount of bridge material should collapse under its own weight, but we made it into arches/triangles and now it doesn't ๐"
Physicist spends a year observing moon to estimate it's mass, only to rule out the theory that moon is made of Swiss cheese
I feel like physics is to the universe, as the lore of a Dark Souls game is to the gameplay. The universe is already built, and physicists just come up with the lore to explain the mechanics after the fact.
